ISLAMABAD: Minister for Climate Change Sherry Rehman claimed that allies of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan are not favouring dissolution of assemblies in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

Sherry Rehman in a statement said that Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi gave statement to not dissolve provincial assembly till March, whereas, KP put condition to dissolve Punjab Assembly first.

She claimed that Imran Khan was just using his stance for dissolution of assemblies as political threat to his opponents. She said that coalition government will not accept any pressure from such threats.

“In politics, dialogues are always held without tabling any conditions. Demands cannot be tabled pre-dialogues. If they want to hold talks on electoral framework, then they should take positive U-turn and rejoin [national] assembly.”

She claimed that PTI Chief has misconception that he is most popular leader of Pakistan which led him to demand early elections. PTI Chief would realise reality of his popularity after results of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Local Government elections.

She blamed Imran Khan for deteriorated economic situation. She gave credit to incumbent government for preventing country from facing default.
